Yes, and stop calling me Shirly! Re the squarrosa^; squarrosa would have a much denser foliage, both on the crown [like any other chamcyp] and on the twig. It would be much more 'heathery' in appearance. This is distinctly 'open'. Mitchell: Conifers of the B.I. has a leaf length of 15mm for C.jap but only 5mm for pisifira. Good pics of both in Johnson and More: Collins Tree Guide.

Looks like a palm!

Knew it was too good to be true!

Yes that's right! Because in bailing out their chums in the banking sector the tories didn't give us twenty per cent vat and they aren't keeping all the money that would normally be paid out to us as interest on our saving to themselves whilst still not seeing the immorality of bonus payments that exceed most peoples annual income continuing to be paid to the very people that caused the current crisis and penalising people for having a heart condition did they? They are constantly there at the table, opening a packet of biscuits, taking two out and keeping the rest for themselves. They then lean over and tell you that the bloke sitting next to you is trying to steal your biscuit. Clots! What labour would see - I hope- is a redistribution of the packet of biscuits! The 'ordinary people in the middle would go on just being ordinary whilst the five percent with the stupidly extravagant lifestyle would have to settle for a merely very extravagant lifestyle - and you know what? their wealth is so extreme that they wouldn't notice! that's how much money they have - they could fund the whole debt crisis between themselves and still turn a profit - that's the kind of people they are. The money 'taken would then create a more bearable life for a lot of people who are struggling to get through it for many and very varied reasons. Life is so damn short and yet some people seem to do all they can to make that short life as miserable as they can for other people who are less fortunate than themselves. There is so much wealth in this country and an ethos of greed has crept in, of snatching every little bit of mine, mine, mine and yet if everyone saw themselves as working for the good of the whole country - for the common good - the common wealth - then the only people who would really notice any difference would be the current poor whose lives would be uplifted beyond recognition. B#gg#r 'they don't deserve it, it's their own fault' they're people ffs, they're people who need help. Them up there are just creating new 'out-groups' for you to vent your spleen upon so that with the help of the Daily Mail you won't splash spleen over the suits of the people who caused the mess in the first place. Just remember 20% V.A.T. Bonuses STILL being paid. Every penny of interest on every persons savings being kept - and that is a lot of money. Sorry for length of post, sorry for derail, sorry for not mentioning same people stealing commoners rights in the 19th century. I'm just off to a happy place to think about happy things for a bit

I cut one down...and then burnt it. Can't speak for any others but that one wasn't very lucky was it?

No no no! It's Hawthorn that's bad luck.

Come on! [How many revs per second times how many teeth per rev] well that's the ..th of a second before the next tooth comes down and in which that signal has to get to a cpu and the stop mechanism spring in. And where are these sensors and why don't they interfere with the cutting and why don't they get worn away by the cutting. And just what is this 'circuit' that gets 'completed'. Nice try:001_tt2: Happy to be wrong:001_smile: ETA Not even the next tooth - the first tooth doesn't go through does it? We're talking instantaneous action: not possible.

Daily Mail. Nuff said.

Extra mark for strimmer damage at base. Good luck.

Hoorah! Happy Days.

I'll do it for...how much have you got in the house there my dear...two hundred and twenty five?...ok, I'll do it for two hundred and twenty five. I'll make a start now then my dear and my brother will be round after christmas to finish it off.

Certainly looks a bit odd. What's that in the bucket beside it? Oh!

FTFY:001_smile:

Crack Willow.

Yep, you can zoom in a bit on the linky and there's some cones hanging that would also go with Norway spruce.

I mean what even is the top one?

Yep, t'ent farmers being subsidised it's the price of the food on your plate that is being subsidised. T'would be interesting if the real cost of production was put on the packaging alongside the price you pay.

What does it smell of? Lawson: Parsley/pleasant. Sawara: Acrid/unpleasant. Cone scales? Lawson: 4 pairs, rarely five, shield-like, prominent ridge. Sawara: 4-6 pairs, small spike. Cone size? Lawson:1/3 inch, 7-9mm. Sawara: 1/4 inch, 5-7mm.* *Though curiously Phillips gives 1/2 inch 12mm for this. Foliage? Lawson: Slightly longer, slightly straggly, some, slightly overlapping fronds. Sawara: Very neat and tidy, like fine beadwork. Yep s'till raining. [i first thought Lawson til someone said Sawara, whereupon I was plagued by doubt. I now think Lawson.] Happy days ynh

Tree Geek Heaven!

Well it's defo not Western Red Cedar/Thuja Plicata (which I too didn't know meant plaited, cheers treeman) - the cones on WRC are urn-like rather than pea-like and quite distinctive and WRC - especially when you put the mower over the fallen fronds in autumn smalls of apples and pineapples and oranges all bubbling away in a pan of syrup. If its plicata and you sniff it, you will know cos you will stop and say Wow!. As to the question, Is it Lawson or Sawara? The answer is 'Yes, probably'. There are few things more futile than... It is, however, raining...

Don't forget that 80% of what you pay at the pump is tax so the actual value of the fuel before it's dispensed is only one fifth of the figure you have in mind.

Miss Miss hilly said penis.

Hmm. I'm happy to not use the decomp cos there's no need to and esp now if you say that using it will encourage it to leak which might lead to engine failure and thankyou for that advice. But. If the decomp was fitted 'at the drawing board' and the pull-start mech was designed around the need for the correspondingly reduced torque required to turn the engine over - will I not now be straining the start mech by not using the decomp? Yours Conflicted ETA when I said other machines I was really thinking of a 500 single motorbike engine

Does the advice about not using decomp extend to all machinery? All chainsaws? Or just these chainsaws you're talking of?
